Standard Course Students
All students should come to the Horner School of English, Dublin for 09.00 on their first day (usually Monday) for their Grading Test and Orientation Session.
Grading Test (approx 1 hour)
This is a straightforward multiple choice written test, listening test and short spoken interview with a teacher.

We offer five class levels: A1 Elementary, A2 Pre-Intermediate, B1 Intermediate, B2 Upper Intermediate, C1 Advanced.
Orientation Session (approx 30 mins)
Immediately following the Grading Test, all new students will be introduced to staff members in a relaxed and informal setting. Students then receive an Information Pack containing full details on their chosen course, daily timetables, etc. All students also receive maps of Dublin, bus and train information and useful information relating to their stay.
